Interviewed Mar 2011 in Philadelphia, PA (took 2 days)
I had a brief initial phone screen, followed by two panel interviews. The phone screen was very simple, with just a few questions about my interest in the position, availability (there were some weekends required for the roll) and resume. The first panel interview was somewhat casual. They asked a few warm-up questions (we talked about the weather, the Phillies, etc.) and then a variety of questions, mainly based on my resume. The panel took turn asking questions that they had each developed, so they will a little all over the place in terms of style. The second interview was a little more formal, but also unique. The first half hour was mainly behavioral style questions. Then, the manager left, and I was asked more personal questions about my work style to test my fit as a member of the team.

Interviewed Apr 2008 (took 2 weeks)
I applied for the PhD program @ Drexel via online application system (free) and the financial support. After maybe two rounds or selection, I received email to schedule a phone interview. There were to people on the other end, the associate department head and a professor. The interview was quite casual. They just briefly asked about my previous experiences listed in my resume. Then they answered a couple of my questions on the graduate program at Drexel. After about a week, I received the offer via email. If you know how the graduate program works, you'd know why the interview was brief. Most unqualified applicants fail the first two or three rounds of selection.
